stuartqpr Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi everybody, I currently have a website on oscommerce 2.2 which offers free shipping to orders over $200. The problem is, as we are based in Australia certain postcodes are incredibly remote, and the majority of products are quite heavy. Free shipping is viable for 80% of the country - however there are certain postcodes we need to exclude from the promotion. Does anybody have any idea how this can be achieved? Is there a free shipping contribution that gives you the ability to exclude postcodes? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort-lemur Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 You could set something up with the MGZMT Shipping module for 2.2 (multi geozone multi table shipping) - a bit complex to configure but once set up works well. Quote Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Like Mort-lemur says, though there is always the customer who registers with an address that is near to you, with the intention fraudulently to secure a lower postal charge. There is no automatic check for this, you will just have to keep your eyes open. If however we think in terms of whole states, not of specific postcodes, then there is less vulnerability to this fraud. In the case of an Australian address, Paypal returns the values of SHIPTOSTATE SHIPTOCOUNTRYCODE and if function pre_confirmation_check function pre_confirmation_check() { global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $order, $ppe_token; if (!tep_session_is_registered('ppe_token')) { tep_redirect(tep_href_link('ext/modules/payment/paypal/express.php', '', 'SSL')); } if (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['do'])) { $response_array = $this->getExpressCheckoutDetails($ppe_token); if (($response_array['ACK'] == 'Success') || ($response_array['ACK'] == 'SuccessWithWarning')) { // load the selected shipping module include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'shipping.php'); $shipping_modules = new shipping($shipping); include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order_total.php'); $order_total_modules = new order_total; $order_total_modules->process(); if ($response_array['AMT'] == $this->format_raw($order->info['total'])) { tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL')); } else { tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, 'do=confirm', 'SSL')); } } } } is not happy with what it sees then our visitor does not get through to checkout_process. It is still common to offer free shipping on valuable orders, though the practice looks like a relic of the days of printed catalogues. It would have been too much to ask the householder to dip his pen into his inkwell, to start adding up weights. But we can nowadays charge prices which more accurately reflect our costs, and the competition may force us to do so. So maybe place more emphasis on weight-based shipping - more especially as some of the products are 'quite heavy'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran_mullen Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Which free shipping module are you using?
